Xbox Series controller compatibility and test guide.
A common XInput-style controller with a reliable button layout, analog triggers and broad PC game support.
Windows commonly exposes a standard mapping, while Bluetooth, Linux and third-party drivers can change button names or ordering.
LIVE GAMEPAD DIAGNOSTICS
Connect your gamepad
Xbox controller test
Stick telemetry
Stick health check
Leave the sticks untouched, then calibrate. The result measures the signal exposed by your browser.
Circle test
Choose a stick, click start, then rotate it around the edge once. The result is an estimate based on radius consistency and angle coverage.
Triggers
Vibration test
Input snapshot
{"status":"waiting_for_controller"}Browser-side diagnostic only. Connect the controller in your operating system first; this page cannot pair Bluetooth or install drivers. Results depend on the browser, operating system, connection and controller mapping.
What the tester should show
- A/B/X/Y
- D-pad
- LB/RB
- LT/RT
- Two sticks
- Menu/View
Press each control on the full gamepad tester. The button matrix and raw API panel are more reliable than a brand label when a controller is in a different mode.
What may not appear
- Dual-motor rumble may be available
Rumble is an optional browser capability. A missing rumble button does not by itself prove that the motor is damaged.
Before calling it broken
- The Xbox Wireless adapter is different from ordinary Bluetooth and may need its own Windows support.
- Test LT/RT as analog inputs instead of only checking whether they click.
